Ted Cruz is the first to officially announced his 2016 candidacy for the President of the United States. Cruz is currently a US Senator from Texas (R). He announced his anticipated candidacy with this video Monday morning.

We're all sick of it. Sick of the TV commercials, the radio ads, the countless political mailers that just never end. Blue or red, we are over it. I'm not sure when the political world became so hateful, but, I can't remember a time when it was friendly. Why are political campaigns so negative? I for sure don't get it. And, it's annoying. (That's the nicest word I'm allowed to use without getting in trouble from my boss.)

If you've ever listened to my Midday Show, you know I'm not afraid to go on a good rant every now and then. So, why not a rant about these nasty political ads? Add some good patriotic music and we're ready!

When I saw that the former President would be returning to Owensboro, I got the nutty idea to go and check things out. I had never been to a a campaign rally, big or small, ever. I have to admit, this was a great first one to attend.

Monday night, GOP leader and Senator Mitch McConnell debated his Democratic opponent, KY Secretary of State Allison Lundergan Grimes for the one and only time prior to the November 4th elections and it was heated to say the least.

Election Day is less than a month away, have you decided who you're voting for? And more importantly, why you're voting for that person? I understand that the voting process can become quite tainted with all of the ads, but it is one of our greatest responsibilities as a citizen and we should all prepare ourselves more than we do.

The US Senate race here in Kentucky is one of the most watched and most influential races this year. Tonight, on KET (7:00pm CST), Sen. Mitch McConnell and Sec. of State Alison Grimes will discuss important issues in the Senate race.

The Greater Owensboro Chamber of Commerce wrangled two huge names to headline it's annual Red, White and Blue Picnic. And yesterday, on the lawn of the Daviess County Courthouse, U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell and his Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes took the podium and presented their "stump speeches." And, in doing so, continued to wage one of the most hotly contested and covered national races. Check out video of their speeches here!
